I'm liking Lin and Chandler which reminds me of Nash and Stat. However I hope Knick fans don't stomp on him if he has a few bad or mediocre games. Dumtoni will overplay this guy before you know it. Lin is good. He is playing some good ball. The excitement might wane a bit if they lose the next few games.
February has alot of winnable games in it, but Lin will need some rest time from the court for sure.
He got that tonite, at the expense of the lead going away.
I like Lin and Fields in the backcourt.
more impressive was watching landry play like premelo days, and shumpert looked really good at the 2/3, all thanks to lin's constant attack at the basket
both times when douglas/bibby were subbed in for the backcourt, we took 5 straight missed 3's :facepalm and had no ball movement at all with douglas and bibby exchanging bricks with each other
on lins dunk, defenders didnt know whether to contest it or guard the 3 :lol left the lane wide open
You know another good thing Lin brings to this team ?
NO MORE TONEY DOUGLAS :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

Let's give him to our opponents for free and hope they will play him which would give us an easy win :D

I don't remember Douglas coming in last nights game at all, but I fully agree the team did not look good with Bibby trying t run it.

douglas recorded a DNP :lol finally ( i thought i saw him, must have been burned in my head from previous games:banghead: )
List of players with at 3 or more consecutive games where they scored 20 or more points with 6 or more assists while shooting greater than 50% from the floor since the
@Amareisreal: “Another great game tonight Knicks!! It seems like everyone is buying into the system an playing team basketball. I can’t wait to join. GN”
Damn Lin and Fields. I LOOOOOOVVVVEEEE Lin and Shumpert playing together!!!!! They cant shoot worth $h!t but MAN do they have some fiesty hands.

[B][COLOR="DarkOrange"]This is why the kid is a Superstar. He goes to the rack now everyone wants to go to the rack. They take better 3's because they are mostly uncontested.

[COLOR="Navy"]This is the prime example of a player making everyone better! Unfortunately whats going to happen when 36 million get on the court? Do they buy in?[/COLOR][/B]
pretty sure amare will easily assimilate to lins play. question is whether melo can buy into it

I agree. I liek Melo more but Amare's game fits more with Lin's. This is where good coaching is paramount.
I dont think Toney Douglas played at all last night.:oldlol: He looked like he was going to cry on the bench. When there was a timeout, he was giving the funniest hi-5's and chest bumps. I almost felt bad for him.

Good. Maybe he will learn to stop chucking threes on 5 of every 6 shots, and finally learn how to distribute to teammates.
[B][COLOR="Navy"]Its going to be more difficult I think for Melo because he is going to need to be more decisive with the ball. In D'Antoni's system you cant hold the ball to watch what the defense does you have to shoot/attack/pass.[/COLOR][/B]

[B][COLOR="Navy"]I hope he sticks on the team. I need someone on the Knicks to root for. I would buy his Jersey. I think the last Jersey I ever bought was Sprewell. [/COLOR][/B]
im pumped for todays game, i know its the lakers and with our lineup, its gonna be tough, but somwhere inside of me, i feel like we can pull it off.
Lin is playing very well right now. I hope he can keep it up. I also hope the city doesn't get sucked in the hype and force the organization to lock this guy up in a deal that they will want out of in two years.

:applause: :applause: :applause:
Repped (well I tried but they won't let me).
I like Lin. I love what he's brought to the table lately. However, I do think we should still look for a pg in the offseason. He could be a few bad games from the d-league all over again. No trouble in searching for a sure thing.

I agree with both you and KO, but here is the question.....
If Lin keeps up some of this remarkable play for the duration of the season, and another team tries to swoop in and lock him up, do you match the offer?
Or.......let him walk ala Steve Nash?

Despite the assist numbers he doesn't see the floor very well. I was at the game against the Wizards on Wednesday. There were plenty of plays where Lin simply lost track of what was happening on the weak side of the floor.
That isn't a huge problem right now because teams are still learning what type of player he is. In a year or two when teams figure Lin out he will not have these types of games nearly as frequently.

IDK guy, specifically if Lin were to continue his good play, not the points of course, I really don't see how the Knicks could seriously let him go with no pg on the roster.
Besides he's somewhat of a RFA anyway, so there is limits to what a team can offer him, I think similar to Deandre Jordan.
I see you're saying he doesn't see the floor well.
What exactly did you see that he didn't?
His vision is actually what is driving his good play, the ability to see players cut, screen, open lanes to the basket.
Plus a week ago he admitted he had never played with these guys.

Also, Lin just can not split a trap/hard hedge coming off a ballscreen. The quickness and arm length of defenders make it basically impossible for him to pull off. Once teams realize that they will change how the play him. It will make the limited vision all the more apparent.
My main concern is that I don't want the team and fanbase to get sucked into his production for this month. The Knicks play a lot of teams this month that have just been horrible about defending point guards. I don't want to see them hand him a $5 million a year deal that they will regret in two seasons.
Depends on what you mean by "keeps up his remarkable play." If he's getting 20 and 8, yea I'll show him the money.If he comes back down to Earth and maintains about 10 and 4, no way am I going above my mid level. I'll offer him half.
What would you offer him if he finishes averaging 15 and 7 or 8?

[QUOTE=Sarcastic]What would you offer him if he finishes averaging 15 and 7 or 8?[/QUOTE]
Im sure he will get the 1 mil QO, but 15 and 8 is definitely worth mid level, but I would wait for another team to offer it first, then gauge interest.

Maybe you saw more than I could, but I saw quite a few cross court passes, and deep kickouts during the game made by Lin.
The kid has been very solid in few games.
I think you may be a tad overly critical of his play.
Even when trapped, I only recall once when he gave up his dribble.
I'll make a true assessment when I can what he does with the full compliment of players.
[B][I][I][U]What a great game today. I love this guy, he became my favorite player by far.
Also, am I the only person who is getting selfish about Lin? What I mean is, do you guys really want to keep this guy as much as I do on the team long term? I can't help but stress so early because of how much I enjoy basketball and our team play with him. Without Amare + Melo getting wins and getting our players involved I feel so good. How do we keep this guy with contracts like Amare + Melo + Tyson?[/U][/I][/I][/B]

If he gets 15 and 8, I'd give him around what we gave Felton.

"can't go left".........did that.
"can't shoot the jumper"....did that.
"can't hit the three"....did that.
"fatigue factor"....he's 23, he ain't getting tired, and is strong as a bull.
Now I will tell anyone that the League is scripted, but this is incredible.
